Yamaha YZF-R125 2021

The Yamaha YZF-R125 in the 2019 version makes journalists' lives difficult. You search and search for a fault, but can't find one - simply frustrating! Because the 15 hp single-cylinder with variable valve timing (VVA) performs excellently and is undoubtedly one of the best power units in the 125cc class. The handling is convincing in everyday life as well as on the racetrack, even if the chassis shows its sporty side on bumps. But we are on a super sports bike, so that is not a serious point of criticism. Maybe I need to ride the R125 for a few weeks to find its Achilles heel after all....
Aprilia Tuono 125 2018

The Aprilia Tuono 125 remains a very competitive A1 naked bike even with the tough competition from the 2018 model year. Thanks to its stable chassis and high-quality chassis components, it is a real fun machine in twisty terrain - especially if you have installed the 166cc conversion kit. However, its looks and instrumentation are starting to put it behind the competition, which is already coming up with technologies such as TFT and LED. Nevertheless, the Aprilia Tuono 125 is still a good tip for sporty, ambitious 125cc riders.
